Epiphone Les Paul

Up for bid is an Epiphone Elitist Les Paul "Black Beauty" Custom in "near mint" condition. This guitar has absolutely no issues whatsoever! I would rate this guitar in mint condition with the exception of the pickguard having superficial scratches on it (I have played it). But there are no dings, dints, or scratches anywhere else on this guitar. Anything that appears as a blimish in the photos is due to the lighting (sorry). The Elitist case is also in near mint condition with no issues! The neck is slim tampered and TRUE with low action and great playability. This guitar just feels extremely SOLID, like a higher end Gibson Les Paul!  And I am not blowing smoke, that's a fact....  Just check my rating!!!  Being made in Japan at the famous Fuji Factory, the quality control is exceptional. If you know a great instrument when you pick one up, then you will understand what I am talking about when you play it! Whoever wins this fine guitar WILL NOT be disappointed! Important Note: This guitar is not a factory second....It is the "real deal!!!"
